It makes no sense to me how often Blizzard kills (or lately, defects) Horde leaders while the Alliance walks away from nearly every conflict unscathed.
Tyrande or Malfurion should’ve died during the War of Thorns, yet per usual, instead the Horde loses two of its most significant leaders atop an already sizeable pile of dead leaders.
Not a single Night Elf of any significance to the plot died during the War of Thorns, the literal destruction of their civilization.
If Tyrande manages to evade the guaranteed death flag this comical Night Warrior thing is supposed to be, this is the best example of faction favoritism we’ll have seen in the past decade as far as the lore is concerned.
Not really. The War of Thorns should have been a wash in Alliance favor tbh. Malfurion is a literal demi-god and is the strongest individual in the lore. He is just greatly underutilized. In WC3 and old books, the Horde would have been washed out of Darkshore before they even saw a Night Elven Sentinel.
With how badly and pathetic they’ve written both Tyrande and Malfurion to be over the last few years id be entirely indifferent about it if Blizz had them both clubbed to death by a murloc next xpac
Ofc. They whined how much about how we raised some dead elves into being forsaken and that made us legit Satan but how many leaders of ours have ate dirt? Random elf #4847475 obv more important than the leader(s) of an entire faction.
If you had ever experienced the aftermath of an actual irl genocide you wouldn’t say stupid crap like this over some pretend elves dying in a video game. Get a grip.
What makes you think having no characters killed is faction favoritism? It’s tottally the oposite.
Nothing important happens in Alliance. It’s boring. Meanwhile at the Horde, Things are changing constantly, big things happening and aways became the center of the attentions (Garrosh, Sylvanas, Saufang).
I’ll try to be fair to Golden; there’s been more attention on characters like Malfurion, Velen, and Jania that the Wrynns don’t have enough exposure ingame which sounds kinda funny for the characters that lead the faction.
